Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
I am asking for construction paper, paint, pencils, glue, cotton balls, and popsicle sticks so we can continue to make beautiful artwork.
I want to build on their imagination, I find the children now don't have an imagination and this is sad to me.
I can read a story and have to encourage them to think outside of the box. With crayons and paint they can find their own artistic abilities then they can build on it. I want to thank you in advance for helping me and supporting me.
